I found one of my camera's skin is worn, which really affect its look. Can anyone please tell me where I can find the black leather skin and how to remove the old one?

Go to the following site - http://www.aki-asahi.com/store/

You will find many pre-cut leatherette coverings and also pieces from which you can cut your own. Instructions are also listed. This company gives good service and products at very fair prices.

There's also a guy on ebay who sells 0.3mm thick textured goatskin leather. About $12 buys enough of it to finish four cameras.
